Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Are you going to the safety meeting!?

I'm busy at work right now, so why don't you go?

 

Right now, I'm all about going out as much as possible, lol.

Back when I was a salaryman, I really hated it and thought it was a waste of time.

What I hate is that it's just such a hassle—talking about accident scenarios that haven't even happened yet and discussing accident prevention measures,

Pointing out the flaws in other projects...

Back then, there were many times when I didn't go because the workplace was so busy—even though I knew it was a waste of time.

 

I think construction workers generally just tough it out when things get busy on site, but,

I really have to hold safety meetings and disaster prevention meetings at my workplace, lol.

 

I find the major disaster prevention associations, in particular, to be very educational.

It’s well put together, and the disaster case studies are specific enough that I can share them with my colleagues when I get back to the office.

It wasn't until our staff started growing that I started feeling that way, though lol

It can be difficult for small and medium-sized businesses like ours to stay aware of unusual disaster scenarios, unusual laws, and changes to labor standards.

Since it's a major company, they take compliance (adherence to laws and regulations) very seriously, so they'll explain everything in detail.

It's easier to understand than if we were to look it up ourselves.

I've been thinking this for a long time, but,

I believe that working on sites operated by major general contractors, NEXCO, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is essential for a site supervisor to become truly top-tier.

I truly believe that supervisors who have been thoroughly trained in safety management and legal compliance—and who are capable of putting that training into practice—are indeed top-notch.

Safety management—it seems like we’re doing it, but it tends to get neglected more often than you’d think.

 

A certain level of knowledge is also necessary to carry out construction while ensuring proper safety.

That is why I believe it is important for safety committees and disaster prevention associations from other sites to participate.

That way, you can picture it while relating it to your own workplace, right?

Taking precautions while keeping disasters in mindIt's perfect for that ^^

 

Well, I don't think it's a problem as long as someone who can spread the word throughout the company attends, even if no one from the field is present.

To be honest, there are some meetings that are a pain and totally pointless lol, but,

I hope there’s at least one piece of information here that you find helpful and can share with others.

I recommend that everyone try to participate as much as possible in meaningful disaster prevention association activities and the like for educational purposes ^^

 

See you later.
